Epig. 11 Ad Musam suam, de obitu fortissimi insignisque iuuenis Thoma Egerton militis.
Descend my Muse into the bed of Death,(Embalming first his body with thy teares)
And chide the Fates vntill they lend him breath,
Because they rapt him in his youthfull yeares;
Yet stay my Muse, Fates offred him no wrong,
In vertue old he was, in yeeres though yong.
